Divine Emperor of Death

That idiot was so broke that he didn't give Davis anything of worth. The Soul Palace only had a sizeable quantity of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources numbering in the three hundred's, but he chose not to take it away from them since it is was powering their cultivation formations defenses and became his power now.

Soul Empress Merlight also didn't carry anything of worth. Perhaps, she had already spent her personal wealth to allow herself to live for so long, not to mention to allow her secret grandson to escape the onslaught of the Soul Palace.

At that time, he knew that he had definitely pulled the end of the short stick of luck.

Nonetheless, choosing this place as his location to commence his secret experiment, he sat down on a cultivation cushion he summoned out and took out a cauldron.

It was none other than the Legacy Artifact of the Soul Palace, the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron, a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Cauldron. It had red-colored patterns and lines all over its exterior, causing it to glow in a radiant light, and it was said that it was even capable of bearing the brunt or explosions of most berserk Peak-Level Emperor Grade Pills.

It was something sought out even by the Glorious Pill Palace for its ability and history because its spirit probably knew pill recipes that they didn't know, the pill recipes to increase Soul Forging Cultivation.

However, such a thing wasn't that attractive to Davis as he had already acquired what he needed.

He flicked his hand and opened his palm. In his palm was the fist-sized jade container. It opened, revealing a lustrous blinding light before its appearance became clear.

It possessed a cerulean gleam to it, even reflecting his image like a mirror, and the fragrance emanating from it made Davis feel like his soul force was restoring faster. No, his soul force was indeed restoring faster, but the pill was also losing its potency bit by bit while being revealed to the outside world.

"Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill…"

Davis couldn't help but grin before his smile became wry.

'Good grief… to think that the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree Fruit is merely one of the important auxiliary ingredients used to concoct this pill… Haha…'

Davis dryly chuckled.

Obviously, it meant that Myria had also obtained a Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree in the Eastern Magical Beast Territories or managed to procure a fruit or a seed from a sealed jade container in the magical beast empires and managed to grow into a tree with her Life Laws. After all, Myria wasn't much surprised by his way of growing his herbs, while the magical beasts seemed civilized enough to seal the medical properties of the ingredients.

Moreover, the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Evelynn encountered also said that magical beasts can become alchemists, although he mused that only a select few were capable of that as laws played a vital role in alchemy.

Fire and Wood Laws were very important in Alchemy, although people tended to use Fire Laws as that's way more efficient and easy to learn compared to Wood Laws. As for using soul force, all soul force possessed the property of flames, a direct manifestation indicating the fires of life within humans.

He didn't know much about it, but most could conjure soul flames as long as they had enough soul force to use.

To create a Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, he possessed the required ingredients. He also planted the seeds of these ingredients in his herb garden to grow more of them, although their growth would be slow, considering that he didn't have the supporting resources required for their growth like the green viridian lightning he used for the Viridian Afterlife Path Tree.

However, if he used Fallen Heaven's life energy, the same rules wouldn't apply.

Nonetheless, all there remains is for him to use its three main ingredients and hundreds of auxiliary ingredients to concoct the pill.

But, he wasn't willing to concoct a Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill now as his aim was to create a Perfect-Tier Pill and use Karmic Embodiment, no, use Karmicseizer to grant the Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill a sizeable amount of karmic virtue, allowing its efficacy to reach a new high.

To that end, he had to first use the pill in his hand to experiment if this method of using Karmicseizer was viable.

If he failed, he could only go back to Ellia's place and say sorry for destroying the pill. However, if it became successful…

Davis's eyes flashed with a determined glint.

'Can't afford to waste a Perfect-Tier Pill that I'm going to try and make in the future...'

He took a deep breath, preparing himself while trying to imagine its difficulty.

Perfect-Tier Pills were a matter of skill and luck for someone like him without much experience in concocting Peak-Level Emperor Grade Pills. That's why he took this decision despite the chances of failure involved in it.

If he could create a Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill and successfully imbue karmic virtue in it, his chances of creating a Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill would significantly rise and allow him to create a powerful Supreme Immortal Sigil due to his soul essence quality rising to the extreme limit!

'Perhaps… it can even break that limit…?'

Davis blinked but wryly chuckled, knowing that he was daydreaming again.

He took a deep breath, beginning to use Karmicseizer, knowing that he should use it carefully because he couldn't afford to waste karmic nature either but suddenly stood up, blinking in confusion.

'Wait a minute… I don't necessarily have to use this pill for experimenting with Karmicseizer... I can use Karmicseizer on it after successfully implementing it on another pill, but it must be worthy as this pill...'

Davis thought as he stared at the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron and its massive ten-meter-tall body.

"Hey, you. Let's make a trade, shall we?"

He asked, narrowing his eyes as he waited for its answer.

"What kind of transaction?"

It was a while before the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron answered in an ancient and hoarse voice.

Davis's eyes lit up, "Aren't you the Legacy Artifact of the Soul Palace? Surely, you must know some pill recipe that enables a Ninth Stage Soul Cultivator to break through to the fifth level or even the sixth level of the Ninth Stage while being in the Peak-Level or something that allows an extraordinary soul cultivator like me to enter High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. You comprehend my prowess, so you can understand what I'm saying, right?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence. I can understand what you're trying to say, but why should I give something like that to you?"

"Don't say that..." Davis quietly raised his fist, "I'll give you your freedom back in a decade if you give me the pill I'm asking for. How is that? Not a bad proposition, right?"

"…"

Davis knew that it was fine for him to reach High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. When Ellia meant that he showed promise, she meant that he had created an Emperor Sigil, which lowered his chances of creating a Supreme Immortal Sigil. After all, his soul essence had reached a level that created Emperor Sigil.

Crossing levels shouldn't lower the efficacy of the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill he possessed on him. Even if it did, it would only be by a small percentage, and a Perfect-Tier Pill alone would be able to give him a significant boost, much less a pill that is imbued with karmic nature.

The Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron stayed silent for a while before its body shrunk to two meters tall.

"I don't care for freedom. All I want to serve is a worthy master from the Soul Palace. However, you broke into the Soul Palace and killed every Soul Emperor you can find except Soul Emperor Elusivemist."

"Ah, him…" Davis shrugged before he grinned, "Your information is quite outdated. I already killed him."

"Hmm? Why? Didn't Elusivemist surrender?"

"Because that idiot was plotting something again a few days back while I was enjoying an event with my family."

Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal, a Low-Level Emperor Grade Soul Technique that was difficult to detect and erase once placed on someone's soul. But in Davis's hands, it was a powerful slave seal limited people's actions, warned him about their hostility towards him, and allowed him to punish them through torture or the erasure of the soul.

Naturally, the moment he sensed something strange from Elusivemist, he erased his soul by activating the Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal. He didn't even take it as a notable event and had Yotan dispose of his corpse. She didn't say a word as she hated Soul Emperor Elusivemist, even saying that she would take responsibility for this matter if others asked.

He was slightly impressed with her sense of loyalty to him.

"I see."

The Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron uttered in a bland tone, causing Davis to raise his brows.

"What? Are you going to fight?"

"I said that I want to serve a worthy master..."

"… from Soul Palace," Davis added.

"Yes." The Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron agreed, "You killed the Soul Palace's top powerhouses. However, you didn't destroy the Soul Palace itself but even became its Palace Master. All I want to know is what do you intend to do with the Soul Palace?"

"Ahaha!"

Davis guffawed before he shook his head.

"Nothing special. I'm just going to leave it like that while people who agreed to follow me will naturally follow me. The Soul Palace has hundreds of Soul Kings under my command, but only fifty-six of them have sworn loyalty to me, willing to stay by my side. As for the others, I'm not going to do anything to them. Well, I won't ask you to believe me or anything. I just want the pill recipe you have in that big belly of yours, so are you agreeable with the deal?"

"Sigh, so be it."

The Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron shook while Davis's brows narrowed as he saw a crimson light emanating from it.
